I worked in the foreign service on hardship programmes and trained in Washington before being posted to West Africa. A great experience marred only by the eleven obligatory injections. Despite majoring in a variety of subjects for 16 years I never actually got a degree so officially I wasn't allowed to become an officer in the foreign service, but I'd built up so much experience they made me an officer anyway”.]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2008/04/04/gwen-of-kw/feed/ 0
